After a woman from Devon’s past returns and threatens to destroy their growing bond, Cassie must come to terms with his dark history.

However, she’s not expecting the devastating blow that shatters her world and leaves her feeling like little more than a pile of ashes.

Can their love survive when those ashes give rise to something she never knew resided within her… something not entirely human?

***The Kindred Series is a young adult fictional story that includes some language, violence, and sexual situations. Recommended for ages fifteen and up.***

5.0 out of 5 stars So sad and amazing
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015

Okay from book one, we leave off with a cliffhanger of Cassie's life hanging in the balance to death. Spoiler alert: she doesn't die (but close) but our hero Devon gets her help in time. We get to see Devon and Cassie fall deeper in love and we meet Julian, an old friend of Devon's from book one. Yeah, Julian is a real piece of work. Wait until you meet Isla. So as we learn more about our favorite characters (like Devon's previous girlfriends amongst other things), we run into Dani. What an amazing person! We discover a truth about her and her older brother, who is a jerk and abandons Dani. Cassie once Miss Popular becomes an outcast through her dating Hot & Sexy Devon. It gets more interesting as Dani becomes enfolded into the Hunters world and partially adopted by Lily, Cassie's grandma. So sad the ending on this book. Thank goodness there is a book 3, and 4 and 5. Haha. Tragedy happens to our beloved Hunters and their Guardian, Luther. Cassie's persona changes from the trauma but we are forced to read the next book to find out what happens next.

After I read the first book in this series (Kindred) I promptly bought and read the second. This book was enjoyable and delivered the same amount of romance, action, and suspense as all her other books do. I enjoy her writing- smooth and descriptive and I like her characters even more. If you're looking for a well written interesting book to entertain you for a couple of days, this one will work out well (as long as you've read the first one- you'll be thoroughly confused if you haven't). After I read this one, I moved onto the third.

Heads up- the writer likes to end her books with cliffhangers, so beware.

I just finished reading all the books in this series and I found them very difficult to put down. The story line was good and the characters vere very likeable. My only issue is that I really wanted to slap Cassie and Devon a few times because they became so self absorbed that I wanted to scream at them that there were other people involved so stop making everything about them/him/her and stop making reckless decisions. Other than that the books were really good and you will not be dissapointed.

Ashes is the second book in the Kindred series and I just absolutely loved getting to reenter this world with these great characters. I just can’t get enough of these amazing characters. They have just dragged me into their world and I just didn’t want this story to end. It was just so easy to get lost in and I hope there are many more stories to come in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars The first book was better
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2013

I liked this book, I really did. I thought the concept was Good and it made for a quick, easy read. What bothered me with this book though was that we, the readers, spend so much time in the characters heads that the plot seems to stagnate. My other issue is fairly minor, but, I get that the students have all turned on Cassie but it just seems to be a bit much to really be believable. Yes, girls can be petty and boys can be brutal when their egos are hurt, but I feel that the author took the mean girl thing a bit too far to be convincing.

I am the type of person who buys all the books in a series just so I can find out how it ends and this series was no exception. This book picked up right where Kindred had ended. Devon had healed the worst of Cassie’s injuries but it still wasn’t enough so he rushed her to the hospital. Since there were many questions from the doctors about what happened and how she has survived, Devon needed to use his mind control to change what they saw.

Once Cassie’s friends all arrive, it hits them what Devon is and they first instinct is hatred and killing him. They all have different opinions, but they come to terms with one another for Cassie’s sake. The true reason Cassie’s friends have accepted Devon is because of how alive and happy she is with him around. She is no longer going through the same motions every day since meeting him. Cassie’s grandmother took a liking to Devon immediately and told them they all need to stay close to him as he will protect all of them. While Cassie learns more about Devon’s past, she gains a new friend but she also gains a few enemies.

You meet two of Devon’s friends from the past, Julian and Isla. I really enjoy what happens and their reunion… I don’t want to say more and completely give it away, but wow! When you read this book focus on the details of Cassie’s eyes and every detail about her because it is important.

I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to start the next book in the series!

Ahhhh Erica Stevens. She never puts a wrong word. As per usual her books live up to her usual level of excellence. Erica Stevens is quite simply ... amazing. She is a creative genius, a masterful storyteller. She takes you on a journey that you never want to end. She weaves magic with the wave of her pen and she is always worth reading. I have everything she has ever written and she is one of the few authors that I re-read often. I love her style, I love her creativity, I love her magic.

3.0 out of 5 stars entertaining
Reviewed in Germany on September 6, 2015

I didn't have high hopes after I finished the first one, but the 2nd is slightly better. Although there is one thing that's making me angry: They all say that Cassie is so damn strong because she is so special but I didn't "see" any of her strength. Yes, nobody knows yet what she really is and yes, her enemy is one she can't defeat, but still I would have liked to see a few good fights from her. Everytime she's fighting with Julian, she immediately gets beaten up with maybe one or two punshes in his face. So, if the author wants Cassie to be one of the strongest fighters then there have to be also battles where the reader will get convinced about this - just describing Cassie this way is not enough, therefore only 3 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Better than the first
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 26, 2013

I felt the first book was like Buffy the vampire slayer with a touch of twilight. This book differently went in a different direction which I liked. Some characters resembled Buffy, for instance Luther, the guardian of the hunters has wall to wall shelves with old books and he wears glasses and trains the hunters. But what makes it different is the way the hunters were created. In this book you find it more about the hunters heritage and more about Deven's past. Cassie has gone into herself after the death of her grandmother but there is something about her that makes her different to any other Hunter. Luther has noticed and so has Deven. Cassie wants nothing to do with any of the hunters she only wants revenge for grandmother. This book is better then the first and I cannot wait to start reading the third book. I am most definitely hooked and recommend this book to anyone who loves vampires and a good love story.
